The Most Iconic Landmarks in Music

What makes a recording studio, club, or any place for that matter more than just a place to make or hear music? Sometimes it’s just the accidental things, like Hilly Kristal allowing some scrubby punks to play his ragged Bowery club, or the magic of a perfectly booming drum room. Before every note was available to us on every device able to get a Wi-Fi connection, when the youth got restless and made noise, it needed a home. These are the locations where the hits were made, played and continue to be celebrated.
